I'm rather noob for WP7 developing, and I've got some questions for my new app:
Is it possible to send some information from time to time to my server while the app is hidden (running at background) ? If it is possible, won't it be rejected by Microsoft (my app will say to user about this, of course) ? I want to watch user's location and send it to server, to be honest:)
Is it possible to draw overlays for MapViews? I know, that for iOS apps it is possible
Is it a bad practice for Silverlight apps to put my own images under all buttons and controls on page, and to redefine controls' style? I don't want to support native themes
Thanks!
1.Yes. Background Agent can run every 30 minutes and send location to a server
2.Yes. Microsoft.Maps.MapControl has all you need. For example draw lines with MapPolyline class:
MapPolyline polyline = new MapPolyline();
polyline.Locations = new LocationCollection();
map.Children.Add(polyline);
3.You can do anything. Buttons can be Metro style with images also. But try to keep applications look in consistency with a system

First of all I'm new as React-Native programmer. Currently I want to add a button to my React-Native(Expo) app, in which the user can turn off or on a setting. Is this possible and if so, how can I do that? For example in Android > Settings > Mobile Networks > Turn off mobile roaming?
Thank you in advance
I have tried to use HeadlessJS or a module called background actions. But there are no well documented examples and I also don't know if those modules answer my question. Because my task is more "straightforward" since I keep the app running in the foreground.
Is it possible to send a Windows Store Notification using Windows Forms? If so, is there any available documentation for this I could read through?
If you are asking about sending a Toast notification (the rectangular popup in the corner of the screen) then this can be done from a desktop app like your WinForms app. See Quickstart: Sending a toast notification from the desktop and the Sending toast notifications from desktop apps sample
From your question, I understand that you require Message to be thrown in the style of Windows Store Apps. However this is not possible AFAIK - You can design a usercontrol to show Windows Store kinda notification from inside Win Forms application.
I would like to write an enterpise app that displays some slides on the PC (think powerpoint deck)
important is the requirement that the user cannot take a screenshot of the picture, to see the image they must enter a password, I do not want them to be able to keep the picture
is this possible in Silverlight? what about Flash?
thanks!
You mean, how do you disable someone from using [Ctrl - Print Screen] on a PC or [Command-Shift-3] on a Mac?
Ummm... I think the best you could do is create and out of browser app that is fullscreen AND only when it becomes the active window, it will show the images you want to protect. That way you can disable the keys for screen capture and prevent any other programs from capturing a window shot of your what is in your app.
Still, there is nothing preventing a fiddler user from capturing an image downloaded to your app from a webservice or something. All the images would have to be encrypted then decrypted by your app.
Looks like watermarking your images is your best bet.
I want to show the result of a WebClient-Postback in an new Browser-Popup-Window. As the "Navigate" and "Popup" methods of HtmlPage only support Get-requests, I issued an POST-request to an REST-Service via WebClient. But now I want to show the result (e.g. application/ms-excel or application/pdf) in an new Browser-Window.
Therefore, can I open an new BrowserWindow and set its contents as well as some corresponding http-headers with on-board means of Silverlight 4? Or even better, is an easier way to trigger the browser to do the POST-request to the service?
Best Regards
I tried going this route but the WebBrowser control is not opened to the developer. What I did as a temporary workaround was to open my webpage http://www.xyz.com/default.aspx inside the WebControl and let the page drive the rest.
Mike Taulty had an example for somthing like this, how you can use javascript to communicate back to the silverlight app through InvokeScript:

I hope it helps!
I have an existing Silverlight 3 app that I want to add Live Mesh support to. This may sound like a simple question but I can't figure out how to get started! I've read a bit on dev.live.com but haven't found a good example. Here's what I want to accomplish:
User visits my SL3 site.
User enters their Live ID and password to login to live (not sure how to do this either).
User sees a list of their files from Live Mesh.
User chooses a file, maybe a text file, and views it in my SL3 app.
Is this possible? I've read about Silverlight enabled Mesh Apps, but it looks like those only run inside the "Live Desktop" part of Mesh. This would be nice as a small addon to my current app but I don't want to push the entire app into the mesh to accomplish this.
This is not possible atm:
